education university research usa

UWF-ASN is operated by University of West Florida.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries the university's internal network, identified by the netname UWFLAN associated with the registrant University of West Florida.
  • The AS announces a single IPv4 prefix, 143.88.0.0/16, comprising 65536 addresses, with 0 IPv6 prefixes.
  • With only 1 observed neighbour, the low ratio of addresses to peers indicates a direct connection to the internet rather than a transit or multi-homed access network.

Notable

  • The RDAP registrant for the announced prefix matches the AS holder, confirming the space is owned and operated by the University of West Florida.
  • The inventory consists of a single contiguous /16 block, representing a standard allocation for a large institutional network.

Classification and threat

Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.

Spamhaus DROP

Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.

No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.

Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 454 networks and 1,847 prefixes, as published 2026-11-11. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.

FBI IC3

No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.

IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
